Corinna Schlombs

My research focuses on information technology, capitalism, labor, and gender in the transatlantic context. I am the author of "Machines: German Appropriations of American Technology from Mass Production to Computer Automation" (MIT Press, 2019), and I have published widely in the history of computing, business, and gender, including chapters on women, gender, and computing in the "Palgrave Handbook on Women and Science" (Palgrave MacMillan, 2022), and on IBM’s welfare capitalist notion of the “IBM family” in "Your Computer Is on Fire" (MIT Press, 2021). I hold degrees in Sociology from Bielefeld University in Germany, and in the History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania.
